hot pazooza??? indeed, Peter T!!!
I like to whip this one out, so to speak, when the moment is playful and the acoustics are good...having sung it so many times all those years ago I can go back to it any old time and hit the notes pretty cleanly...and it is such a melodramatic song the difficulties are somehow smoothed out by the very outrageousness of singing it out of a classical or commercial context...did a snippet of it at the singers' club at Paddy Burke's one night and there was much admiring mayhem...
